Hong Kong is positioning itself as a global AI hub, but its strategy overlooks the critical need for energy infrastructure to support the immense power demands of AI training and inference. While the city ranks high in AI financial power and is investing in compute capacity through initiatives like the AI Supercomputing Centre, it faces significant energy deficits.
